Hello everyone,
I built my first WordPress site almost 20 years ago and I’m currently undecided if WordPress is the right platform for my next project.
I run a community group on Facebook for saltwater aquariums – and that in itself has a lot of issues. Most people use the community group to buy/sell/trade their fish and corals, while others look to it for Q&A, and others to showcase their aquariums.
We currently use Facebook groups – and I’d like to move off of FB for a variety of reasons:
1. you don’t “own” your group on FB, and they can pull the plug anytime
2. we’ve been shutdown a few times by FB whenever they change their policies – which now includes, no selling of livestock!
3. FB is not really good for Q&A. The same Q&As are asked continuously which can annoy some people.
What Facebook does well:
1. everyone has it (older community)
What we’d like that Facebook does not currently do:
1. each person can have their own aquarium “profile” – showcasing photos of their tanks
2. each person can also have a section dedicated to their own buy/sell list
3. a dedicated FAQ section
​
So, the question to you is, is WordPress the right platform for us? If so, would you use something like Buddypress or BuddyBoss?
Much thanks for your help!
